IPH'ILIP SINITZER, 0F BROOKLYN, NEW YORK GABMENT HANGER The present invention relatesv to garment hangers, the main object of the inventlon being to provide a 'garment hanger made -of the minimum number of parts and ca- 6 pable of manufacture and assembly with the minimum number of operations.

Another object of the invention is to rovide a garment hanger with a moth all carrier which may be readily lloaded and unloaded.

The various features of the novelty which characterize my invention are pointed'out in the claims annexed hereto and forming a part f of this s ecification. For a clear understanding o my invention reference maybe hadto the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

Fig.V 1 shows a front elevation of-one embodiment of my invention.

h Fig. 2 is a similar view with the cover late shown in section and one of the 'moth all containers shown in retracted position for loading and urlloading the container.

Fig. 3 shows a detailed view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Y

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the cover plate detached from the hanger showing the lugs in expanded position.v

Fig. 5 shows a modified embodiment of my invention.

In the preferred 'embodiment ofthe invention as shown in Fig. 1 the arment hanger as such consists of only two e ements,

the construction offeach of which is sim le,

the two elements when assembled toget er constituting a completed dgarment han er for supporting -a coat an trousers. ne of the elements consists of an integral wire 10 which is bent to the shape shown so as to rovide a hook 11 at one of its free ends an a looped over portion 12 at the otherfree end which is adapted to sli over tliehook portion 11. The intermediate portions of the integral wire 10 are bent to form a horizontal trouser supporting bar 13 and a pair of shoulder supporting arms 14 and 15. The portion immediately adjacent the outer ends oftheshoulder sup orting arms 14 and 15 are preferably loope in the man'- Application filed March 13, 1929. Serial No. 346,665.

ner shown in Fig. 3 to provide horizontal supportingloops 16 and 17. The portions disposed between the horizontal `trouser supporting bar l?) and the loops 16 and 17 are preferably bent to occupy a vertical position as shown at 18 and 19, these portions servin to space the horizontal trouser supporting ar 13 from the other portions of the hanger.

In order to provide a substantial supporting surface for the shoulders of the coat the cover plate 20, which is preferably stamped out of sheet metal, is carried by. the wire, the hook portion of the wire passing through an aperture disposed centrally of the cover plate 20. The cover late is preferably curved longitudinally an transvers'ely so as to provide a supporting surface for the shoulders of the coat of such a nature thatl the coat will hang properly thereon.

The ends of the cover plate 2,0 are provided with integral lugs 21, 22,` which are formed in the same stamping operation, these lugs serving to hold the elements of the hanger in properly assembled relation by bending same over the lower face of the loops 16 and 17 respectivel The `construction descri ed hereinabove constitutes an improved garmentIhanger which is cheap to manufacture and which when in use offers a support foncoat and trousers of such a nature that such garments will not be deformed in any manner.

Another feature of the present invention resides in providing a garment han er with one or more moth ball containers. t is one of the objects of the present invention to construct the moth ball containers in such a manner that they may be loaded andimloaded with facility and to obviate the accidental loss of such moth balls. For this purpose the preferred embodiment' of the invention contains a pair of 4moth ball containers 23 and 24 carried respectively between shoulder supporting arms 14 and 15. The moth ball'containers each consist of an open helical coil of resilient wire, thecoils being slipped over the shoulder supporting arms-14. and 15 respectively in such a manner that their open ends face each other and constitute closures each for the other. The ends '26 and 27 of the containers are 'hanger in the same hand, the other hand being free to load or unload the container. While the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive and described hereinabove is the preferred embodiment of the invention for the vreason that it provides a simple and cheap construction wherein the various elements-are assembled without any welding operations, Fig. 5 shows a modified embodiment of the invention. In this form of the l invention the cover plate 2O is identical with the corresponding element 'in Fi 1. The y moth ball container 28 is substantially identical with the containers shown in Fig. l except that instead of providing two such containers, only one lon container is provided which is also in the orm of an open helical coil of resilient wire. The metallic strip or n wire 29 serves to hold the container 28 in osition, the free ends of the wire 29 beingV eld in place by means of the integral lufs 21, 22, o the cover plate 20. If desired t e ends of the helical' container 28 may be cov. ered with disks 30 which arel provided with resilient lugs 31 cooperating with the end turns of the container 28 to close the same. The hook 32 is welded or otherwise attached to the strip or wire 29 at the point 33. If desired a trouser supporting horizontal bar 34 may be assembled with the hanger, the bar being provided with horizontal portions 35, 36, which are held in position by means of the lugs 21, 22.v
